thats with a 6 speed manual. thats what the camaro is gonna be looking at. with 100 more ''horsepower'' than the previous generations they should be faster than what they are. the only reason hp ratigns are going up is because cars are becoming heavier and heavier. Im not even mentioning the fact that the Automatic camaro will have DoD and will be crap for tuning.
im done on this subject. gm shouldve left the camaro dead....its better than disrespecting it.

I will be so bold as to say speed isn't what sells cars. If it did, the previous gen Mustang should have been blown the hell out of the water by the LS1 f-bodies.
GM needs to make a car that can sell. Sure, they may piss off purists and enthusiasts but at least they will have a winner that puts money in their empty pockets.
Edit re your edit: It sold like crap for more than just advertising. It was a great powerplant in a crappy shell, and it wasn't really what the target market segment could afford. There were also 4 "the musclecar lives" LS1 T/A advertisements, that were cool and catchy and still didn't sell dick.
